I have used All Recipes for the last five years and this is my first time writing a review. I took a big chance on this recipe, it was my first turkey. It turned out amazing. Everyone and I mean everyone who tasted the bird talked about it for days. I have not seen white meat disappear so fast at Thanksgiving. It was a amazing. It didn't need any gravy. I will be making this again.

I tried this recipe for our Christmas turkey. It was the first I've ever brined. I added a few more things like onions and celery. It was the moistest, best-taking turkey I've ever cooked. I always thought brining involved just putting a turkey in salt water. What I ended with was basically vegetable soup stock. Unbelievably good! Thanks for the great recipe!

Awesome! Used it to make a turkey breast this Thanksgiving. I used vegtable broth and apple juice, it turned out excellent. Best turkey I ever made. I buttered the breast above and below the skin before baking and tenteted last half hour or so. I did cut back on the salt to about half of what the recipe called for.

I used this brine in conjunction with Chef John's Roast Turkey & Gravy recipe. The bird cooked perfectly, looked spectacular and gave rave reviews all around from the 17 guests we had! Most of the guests even commented that it was the "best turkey they ever had!" This was the first time I brined a turkey and it will definitely not be the last!

I think I made the mistake of letting the turkey sit in the brine too long and it came out very salty. The flavor was great, but I will definitely cut back on the time and see if that makes a differnce
